The Effect of Dry-Land Quickness Training on Swimming Performance of 14-16 Ages Students

Uploaded by Marglet

The study investigated the impact of dry-land quickness training on 14–16-year-old male swimmers’ 50 m freestyle performance. Thirty volunteer male athletes and ten age-matched non-sport participants were assigned to two experiment groups (E1: swimming; E2: swimming plus quickness) and a control group (C). Quickness tests (Zig-zag, Square, Illinois, and T-test) and pre/post 50 m freestyle measures were analyzed using paired t-tests, independent t-tests, and one-way ANOVA, showing significant improvements versus baseline and across groups.

(􀀣 Corresponding Author) Abstract This study aimed to research the effect of dry-land quickness training for 14-16 years old male swimmers on 50 m freestyle swimming performance. 30 volunteer male athletes and 10 volunteer males in the same age group who do not sport participated in this study. Athletes were grouped who took swimming training as experiment1 (E1), experiment2 (E2) who took swimming & quickness training and control (C) group who did not take an exercise. Zig-zag (ZZ), Square test (ST), Illinois test (IT), and T-test were applied for quickness skills; 50 m freestyle swimming degree was computed for the swimming performance before and after the training. Findings were discussed by applying paired sample T-test for in-group, independent samples T-test and One-Way ANOVA tests were applied for intergroup comparison. There are significant differences in all the measurement parameters based on pared sample T-test analysis results (p<0.05) . Also, with reference to intergroup analysis that compared E1, E2, and C groups, there are significant differences in all the parameters (p<0.05) while there is no difference between E2 and C group in ZZ, ST, K, and IT measurement parameters (p>0.05) . On the other hand, there is a significant difference at 50 m freestyle swimming degree. Exercise that were applied on dry-land as an addition to swimming training have an effect on quickness and swimming performance. It can be considered to be available method for swimmers to plan their training at the appropriate time. Keywords: Swimming, Quickness, Exercise, Dry-land training, Performance, Strength.

FAQs

What was the goal of the study?

To examine how adding dry-land quickness training to swimming affects 14–16-year-old male swimmers’ 50 m freestyle performance and quickness-related outcomes.

How were participants grouped?

Participants were divided into E1 (swimming training), E2 (swimming plus quickness training), and a control group C that did not take an exercise program.

Which tests were used to evaluate quickness and performance?

Quickness was assessed using Zig-zag, Square test, Illinois test, and T-test, while swimming performance was measured by computing 50 m freestyle swimming degree before and after training.
